About
Element34

Element34 was founded in 2015 by Michael Palotas, a top expert in the design, development, and open-sourcing of Selenium Grid, Selendroid, and ios-driver, and François Reynaud, one of the pioneers in web and mobile test automation and the mastermind behind SBOX.

As we began working with organizations handling highly sensitive data, legislation for data privacy was emerging globally (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, etc. We saw the growing pressure for these companies to comply with these regulations. They needed to strengthen their data security to protect data from leaving the corporate firewall and prevent third-party access into their infrastructure - issues that arise when using existing SaaS testing solutions.

In response to the critical need for a more secure and compliant testing solution, we created SBOX. Unlike traditional SaaS solutions, SBOX's behind-the-firewall deployment prevents any connection outside of customers' firewalls - thus eliminating data privacy compliance issues. SBOX also offers better accuracy in test results, as well as improved scalability and cost efficiency compared to conventional SaaS testing methods.

Element34 has grown to empower and support a global customer base with a focus on large enterprises with high security and data compliance requirements - such as insurance, banking, government, and healthcare organizations.
